vbProArcade v1.0 Flash Games Development

vbProArcade v1.0 Flash Games Development Thread

This thread is intended to provide support for those who wish to find new games for their Arcades, or wish to assist in the development of new games for vbProArcade, or wish to modify existing, open-source Flash games for use with vbProArcade.

Note to vbulletin.org moderators: I could not find an appropriate place for this thread, other than the Beta Hacks forum, so here it is. If you feel this should be moved somewhere else, by all means do so. An additional reason I posted it here was because, to my knowledge, only registered users can view this thread, which may contain hack code at one point or another.

For the hack itself, you will need to see this thread. The Flash Development thread that you see here is just that, and should only be for the discussion of creating/modifying games to work with vbProArcade. Any discussion of or support for the hack itself will be conducted in the other thread.

For documentation on how to modify a game to work with vbProArcade, please see the vbProArcade documentation, which will always be contained in this post. I will try and update this post whenever I update the documentation itself.

A list of current games can you find in the second post.

Before you modify ANY game's source or post it here, you must MAKE SURE that you have the author's permission to modify and redistribute the code, compiled or otherwise.

As games are modified and posted, I will update this post to list them, so that people running vbProArcade may find and install them more easily.

I've modified another video pokergame. Swf, icon and scorevariable in the zip.

Nice game NuclioN. Thanks.

Could you post the fla file? I'd like to try to make it so that you can bet different amounts like 5, 25, 50, 100, 500, 1000, etc.

[NuclioN]

I've already modified it so the bet is 25 because 5 on huge amounts of points are to much clicks to loose some.

fla: http://www.cyberty.nl/flashpoker.fla

I remove the fla later from the server

[EvilLS1]

Thanks NuclioN.

I added buttons to bet 5, 25, 50, 100, 500, and 1000.

Here's the .swf:

hmm, if we do get multiplayer games, dont you think people would start a multiplayer game (for them self) only to get maximim points on that game?

you would need two users in order to play a multiplayer game .

i'm not sure how it would submit the score though. i found this really neat multiplayer pool game. need two users to play of course.

Great Evils1 I've removed the fla from the server. The slots game and this poker game (roulette also ofcourse) are exellent to work in conjunction with the store hack from lesanne. If it can put scores in the arcade, why not in the storep? The only difficulty i guess is decrease the points by losing.

Ive seen others with similar problems, but no answer I understoood... I've made a game in flash that works, and added in the code provided, it is as follows:


// set up vars to return
vpaver = "100B2";
scorevariable = chipsdenom;
action = "gameover";
game = scrawps;
score_loc = "http://pgsforum.com/vb/proarcade.php";
// this needs to match the Admin CP value
// and should be between 0 and 31
hashoffset = 5;
// do security shuffle to return newhash
subhash1 = gamehash.substr(0, hashoffset);
subhash2 = gamehash.substr(hashoffset);
newhash = subhash2.concat(subhash1);


and I have this:

// redirect back to vbProArcade
getURL (score_loc, "_self", "POST");


on the gameover frame.

now, I've uploaded it, filled in the variables in Admin CP to the best of my knowledge, and I get this after playing:


vbProArcade Error: Invalid game name specified (todo: put something pretty here later)


what do I do?

P.S. -- in case you didn't read above, I KNOW others have had this problem, but I don't get what the soloution was.... please help me. I have other games I'd like to add to my arcade, but don't want them all to have this problem...


edit: if you need to take a look at the .fla file (although I hope it's not that big of a problem) PM me.

copy and paste this:

PHP Code:

// set up vars to return
vpaver = "100B2";
scorevariable = score;
action = "gameover";
game = gamename;
score_loc = location + "/proarcade.php";

// this needs to match the Admin CP value
// and should be between 0 and 31
hashoffset = 5;

// do security shuffle to return newhash
subhash1 = gamehash.substr(0,hashoffset);
subhash2 = gamehash.substr(hashoffset);
newhash = subhash2.concat(subhash1);

// redirect back to vbProArcade
getURL (score_loc, "_self", "POST"); 


only change scorevariable:

PHP Code:

scorevariable = score; 


to the scorevariable in the game. DO NOT change score. I hope this helps you.

what game are you trying to modify anyway?

Sweet! There are so many news games...

Great job with the new games!
